UN members walk out en-masse in protest against Netanyahu address
  • Ah yes.. good point.. thanks for explaining.

  • West should set its own red lines, not just accept Putin’s, argues veteran diplomat
  • My red herring? You open by making a statement that could easily mean eliminating all Jews and when asked what you mean you refuse to specify (or concoct some kumbaya alternate reality fiction). Instead you blurt that the question is flippant. And now you say red herring as if that somehow absolves you of taking a position that has no basis in reality or a position that just wishes all Jews to dissapear.

    The situation in Israël is neither clear cut nor easy. And since one side (Israël) holds all the power I would expect that side to come up with a just and equitable solution that works for Palestinians too.. and that is not what they are currently doing... We see war mongering genocidal idealogs run their campaign of destruction simply because Bibi needs war to stay out of jail. The reason why these right wing extremist settlers are in the Israeli government in turn has its basis in constant shelling of Israel proper. Which continue because Israël refuses to provide their neighbors with an equitable solution and not keep settling the west bank.

  • West should set its own red lines, not just accept Putin’s, argues veteran diplomat
  • Way to move the goalposts... It's a series of own goals compounded by "help" from their friends that landed the Palestinians in this horror. In Turn the current horror now has 3 revisionist antisemites in a trenchcoat using the poor Palestinians as a beard to practice their antisemitism out in the open.

  • West should set its own red lines, not just accept Putin’s, argues veteran diplomat
  • Uhm.. what? Kept fleeing to Muslim lands? Antisemitism a European thing.. wow.. someone did a number on you man.. I'd suggest you ask for a refund from school.

  • West should set its own red lines, not just accept Putin’s, argues veteran diplomat
  • The original plans where also a lot smaller and entitled Palestinians to a lot of land and their own state. Neighboring countries and Palestinians would not have it. The region was english ruled because the ottomans sided with Germany in ww1.. they where by definition the baddies. Then WW2 happened. You seem to be cherry picking a lot of stuff that happened over the course of the last 120 years or so for that area.

  • West should set its own red lines, not just accept Putin’s, argues veteran diplomat
  • Yeah, we tried that. With the neighboring countries intervening and waging war, and the following wars we ended up here. But this time it will be different.

  • West should set its own red lines, not just accept Putin’s, argues veteran diplomat
  • Sure.. you still are dancing around specifying what your dissolution of the state of Israel would look like.

    I'd personally like to see Netanyahu in a small concrete cell in Scheveningen.. just so we're clear.

  • West should set its own red lines, not just accept Putin’s, argues veteran diplomat
  • No, you made a statement that required a follow up question.. requiring you to elaborate. But I have the feeling that you are answering like this cause you simply refuse to say the quiet part out loud, or are to cowardly to come out and say it. But that's OK. I think most people reading your response get what you mean.

  • West should set its own red lines, not just accept Putin’s, argues veteran diplomat
  • Well, that looks like it ignores reality a bit. That the current state of Israel is doing fucked up stuff atm gets no arguement from me, but it did not happen in a vacuum.

    Spouting revisionist nonsense about how equal the Jews where treated all over the world also does not help the situation either. Nor does ignoring the current situation and how if the state where to be dissolved and a new state created in its place that would give all people of the region equal rights and protections.. they would magically all get along.

    So again.. what then? What would you suggest?

  • West should set its own red lines, not just accept Putin’s, argues veteran diplomat
  • That's not an answer to the question though, you are advocating for the dissolution, so let's put it on the table...

  • West should set its own red lines, not just accept Putin’s, argues veteran diplomat
  • And in your suggested dissolution of the state of Israel, what happens then? And what happens to the Jews that now live there?

  • West should set its own red lines, not just accept Putin’s, argues veteran diplomat
  • They have that right tough. It's just what we are all witnessing goes "a little" further than that.

  • Former OceanGate employee testifies CEO said he would ‘buy a congressman’ if the Coast Guard blocked Titan expedition
  • Well, it worked out for all of us. Coastguard did not spend any money on him, he did not have to give a corrupt politician any money, and we got some headlines from it. I'm for this storyline. 10/10 more please.

  • Helene flooding in Swannanoa, NC
  • But dismantling NOAA means the data that proves this will be paywalled and beholden to private ownership, so skewed... So the plan to combat your line of reasoning is already in motion. They just need enough Americans to fall for their candidate.

  • Bigly Edumacated
  • False... Yeah that was my poor attempt at a joke.

    The whole schtick with these weirdos seems to be that up is down and left is right. Truth does not matter any more.

  • UN members walk out en-masse in protest against Netanyahu address
  • I don't get what you mean.. can you elaborate?

  • UN members walk out en-masse in protest against Netanyahu address
  • I have a hard time imagining how that would work. Because teeth would mean there is a mechanism that could ultimately force countries to supply warm bodies to do enforcement.

  • Michigan man charged with assaulting postal carrier over Kamala Harris flyer
  • So.. will they keep him in pre trial confinement until after the election? Repubs owning the libs 1 vote at a time.. uh.. wait..

  • Zelensky cuts off Trump after he boasts about relationship with Putin: ‘I hope we have more good relations’
  • I hope zelenski gets to write a tell all auto-biography at some point looking back on this period.

  • Holodeck Training games

    With all the footage coming out of Ukraine with the fpv drones, the games seen in some episodes used for training make a lot of sense. The game Janeway and seven shooting small maneuverable airborne drones, comes to mind. But also guinan and the shooting colored dots. I have no clue what the games where called, but the prediction is spot on.

    Zeeuwse huishoudens krijgen betaald als ze zonnepanelen uitzetten
    nos.nl Zeeuwse huishoudens krijgen betaald als ze zonnepanelen uitzetten

    Op zomerse dagen met veel zon wordt meer energie opgewekt dan dat er wordt gebruikt en dat belast het stroomnet.

    Zeeuwse huishoudens krijgen betaald als ze zonnepanelen uitzetten

    Dus.. als belastingbetaler betalen we voor salderen. En de energie aanbieders pakken daarvan nu een stuk met de toeslagen (terwijl de netbeheerders het geld nodig hebben).

    En nu gaan ze actief het klimaatbeleid saboteren door mensen te betalen om hun panelen uit te zetten in plaats van opslag realiseren.

    Ik ben benieuwd hoeveel budget ze hiervoor hebben uitgetrokken. En hoeveel opslag ze daarvoor zouden kunnen realiseren. (Homewizard heeft voor 1400 euro een plug in home accu... Ik heb geen aandelen).

    Maar dit is wel makkelijker en sneller voor de bedrijven.. dat wel.

    Ice cream sodas

    One of the oldest icecream parlors in my city serves 1 scoop of chocolate icecream, some whipped cream in a glass topped off with coca cola.

    It's surprisingly good.

    Their other soda is lemon/lime icecream with whipped cream, some ginger and topped with gingerale.

    Excellent too especially on a warm day.

    Thought I'd share as they can be easily made at home too.

    The US appears to have expanded its agreement with Ukraine to strike over the border inside Russian territory wherever Russian forces are engaging in cross-border attacks into Ukraine, not just in the Kharkiv region as was previously determined.

    Dick Schoof wil 'premier van alle Nederlanders' zijn

    Nou, voormalig NCTV en AIVD. Kan me voorstellen dat we een hoop veiligheid krijgen in ruil voor onze privacy.

    En gelukkig heeft hij als hoofd van de IND het ook een toekomstbestendige organisatie gemaakt.

    Ik ben benieuwd. En jullie?
